If you have a Canon camera (and a lot of you do), I am sure you have developed a special love-hate relationship with your bundled software Zoombrowser (Image Browser in Mac). To add salt to the wounds, Canon refused to offer downloadable upgrades to its software, so the only way to get updated versions of ZoomBrowser were to either buy newer Canon products or try to tackle people outside the local Fry's walking out with Canon products.
Canon recently announced significant new upgrade to it ZoomBrowser and ImageBrowser products moving them up to Ver 5.0. A very nice usable upgrade…. much improved and faster.. must have for all Canon users.

How to download
This time around it upgrades everyone from Zoombrowser 2.x onwards. Don't use the Canon powershot.com site and it does not offer download options for all the cameras. Click on this link to get the download here, irrespective of the camera you have. Click on Drivers/Software on the Bottom Left and Choose your Language.
update: Link has been changed by Canon.. try this








1. Thanks for the heads up! I have a Canon PowerShot A70, so the update is more than welcome. However, the new version of ZoomBrowser is available through Canon's tech support website for all customers, not just the ones with newer cameras. For example, for my camera it is in www.powershot.com , Download Library button on top, select the camera series (PowerShot series A in my case) then the model, click on the link in Software Applications and Updates, select the language and then the application: ZoomBrowser 5 for Windows is in the list.
